Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 71 The Hollow! Dripping Water!

Looking at the foot-long, seemingly illusory beam of light in front of him, Jiang Zhe scratched his head again.

His head-scratching isn't some peculiar quirk.

He genuinely felt that something was wrong with his brain, as if something had been forcibly inserted into it, stirring up his thoughts.

After carefully examining the new information in his mind, Jiang Zhe was greatly surprised. "It's imparting knowledge to me? Knowledge from another world!"

[Basic Wizarding Knowledge...]

A Brief Introduction to Alchemy...

【￥%#@Summoning Spell, Time, Node...】

[Stars... Coordinates...]

【…】

Every shape in space is merely a surface created by the intersection of higher dimensions within that space...

Time is actually still; it has no beginning and no end. The feeling that things change because of the flow of time is merely an illusion.

In fact, time is an illusion.

Only those beings confined to finite dimensions and with a narrow perspective would believe in things like the past, present, and future.

Human beings developed the concept of time solely due to those processes they call change. However, these changes are themselves an illusion. All things that existed in the past, exist now, and will exist in the future, in fact, exist simultaneously.

【…】

Organizing the overwhelming amount of information in his mind quickly left Jiang Zhe drenched in sweat and trembling slightly.

I want to refute this knowledge, but I don't know how.

He only has a superficial understanding of the laws of time and space, and he will soon be led astray by these "fallacies" being poured into his head.

"No, if this continues, there will be serious problems!"

Alarm bells rang in Jiang Zhe's mind, and he said in a low, stern voice, "Get out of my way! Don't try to sway me with your fallacies and heresies!"

And he controlled the power of his inner world, wanting to destroy this strange beam of wisdom.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Zhe's thoughts, the towering ancient tree moved even faster, shaking its massive canopy and causing an invisible wind to rise within its inner world.

As the wind swept past Jiang Zhe, the foot-long illusory rainbow light crumbled inch by inch.

Countless scattered rainbow particles instantly reformed and reassembled.

Jiang Zhe was not surprised.

Because this had happened before, "Secondary Mystic Arts" was modified in this way to better suit local characteristics.

It was still a foot-long illusory rainbow light, seemingly unchanged, but looking at it still gave one a feeling of heightened hearing and vision.

However, it did not force in any more "toxic" knowledge.

As he gazed at it, Jiang Zhe felt his understanding of the laws of time and space gradually deepening, and many previously unfathomable insights suddenly became clear.

Also... I feel that my "handicraft skills" have improved, and my analysis of the essential characteristics of materials is clearer.

"It seems they've grasped the basics of Anna's [Mechanical Pioneer] and [Material Lord] skills?"

"A manufacturer? A pharmacist?"

"If we use the otherworldly system of all that previous cumbersome knowledge to explain it, it seems like this beam of light has awakened my talent for alchemy?"

"Can I put on a white lab coat and pretend to be a researcher?"

"No! Absolutely not! Scientific research is so boring!"

Jiang Zhe was surprised by his own state and was unsure if it was just his imagination, so he began to experiment.

"Anna, share part of the construction method for the [Purple Star Realm] with me."

Orianna did as she was told, sending some of the blueprints for the mechanical planet via a telepathic link.

Jiang Zhe has a slight "mechanical illiteracy" attribute. He frowned as he looked at the complicated design drawings, but his frown gradually relaxed over time.

It's still obscure, but I can barely understand some of the more basic design concepts, especially the circuit diagrams related to mobilizing the fundamental laws of lightning.

This is terrifying!

You should know that what he is looking at now is the design blueprint of an immortal-level mechanical weapon. Once completed, it can be used to cooperate with the mechanical legion to fight against the immortals who have been granted the title of Marquis.

While Jiang Zhe was testing his newfound talent, the silver-clad primordial spirit was handling important matters.

The pyramid-shaped E9-class mechanical ship traversed the dark universe.

The effects of the illusory rainbow light have already been transmitted to the silver-clad primordial spirit through the connection of souls.

With the added benefit of his comprehension and understanding of the two fundamental laws of time and space, the silver-clad primordial spirit began to study spear techniques.

On a vast and boundless grassland.

This is the world storage device that the Silver-Clad Primordial Spirit built some time ago. It has a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers, which is just enough to meet his cultivation needs during the spaceship's journey.

The silver-clad primordial spirit, in human form, held the Void-Trapping Spear, twisting the shaft and shaking the spearhead in a stirring motion.

This inspiration came from the notes of a master marksman before the Great Nirvana.

When that master of spearmanship practiced, he would drive a wooden peg into a thick earthen wall, so thick that even a strong young man couldn't pull it out by hand. But this man could use his spear to create a flourish, and then with a twist and pull, he could pull the wooden peg out of the wall.

They would also insert their spears into the windlass or wheel, twist the spear ring to make the wheel or windlass spin like a windmill, and remain calm.

Recalling the gun training method recorded in the notes, the silver-clad primordial spirit felt that this move was very compatible with the laws of space.

In the hands of the silver-clad primordial spirit, the Void-Trapping Spear swirled in the air like a silver python.

Once the framework is in place, insights into principles are added as its core content.

The fundamental laws of earth: collapse, suppression...

The fundamental laws of space: stagnation, turbulence...

Finally, he used his understanding of the innate secret technique [Mysterious Forbidden Realm] to control the two of them!

……

After nearly three days of refinement, the silver-clad primordial spirit began to test the results.

Opposite them was a 12-meter-tall E9-level mechanical golem wielding a door-panel sword.

Under the control of Orianna's clone, arcs of electricity crackled across the sword, enabling it to unleash attacks imbued with the fundamental laws of lightning.

A sword strike!

The silver-clad primordial spirit responded, and the Trapped Void Spear shot out like a silver python. After touching the sword, it twisted the shaft and flicked the spearhead, causing it to twitch and create a series of unsettling spear flowers.

It was as if threads were extending from the tip of the gun, taking root deep within the space.

As the spearhead trembled, it pulled the surrounding space towards a point in the center, causing it to collapse.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Spatial distortion!

The space feels stagnant!

Then... spatial suppression!

Facing this attack head-on, the E9-level puppet's door-panel greatsword was deflected in the initial collision, and then, affected by the turbulent and shaky spatial environment, the greatsword flew directly out of its hand.

Feeling a sluggish sensation like being trapped in sand and gravel, it was firmly bound by the collapsing space. Lightning crackled from its E-grade alloy body, but it could not break free no matter how hard it tried.

They could only watch helplessly as a glimmer of silver light magnified before their eyes.

It hit him squarely in the chest!

The intense shock destroyed the central components, dimmed the light in the mechanical puppet's eyes, and rendered it completely incapable of movement.

"Not bad, a basic application of the laws of the earth and air systems."

"This one move is enough for the space system. We can continue to refine and improve it... We can consider creating more variations when we reach the World Lord level."

Thinking about how the Lord of Chaos City helped Luo Feng when he created his own secret technique, the silver-clad primordial spirit was very envious.

I wonder what kind of teacher I can find on my own side?

It's estimated that even a teacher at the level of a cosmic sage couldn't achieve that level; the other party might not even have fully mastered their own secret techniques.

The silver-clad primordial spirit shook its head, no longer wanting to think about it.

"Next is the time system, which also needs to have a prototype. We can't favor one over the other."

He replaced the Trapping Spear with an ordinary alloy spear and began to use his own lightning and time laws to comprehend and refine the spear techniques.

Because there was already a spear thrust technique called "The True Meaning of Speed" as a foundation, this spear move quickly became quite effective.

It took less than two days.

Faced with the mechanical puppet's slashing attack, the silver-clad primordial spirit's spear struck first despite being behind.

The spear tip burst forth with dazzling lightning, drawing a graceful arc as it deflected the greatsword with incredible speed, piercing the mechanical puppet's chest and shattering its central components, rendering it powerless.

"Both of their gun techniques still have a lot of room for improvement..."

"The spatial system, with its shadow of strangulation and blockade, is called the 'Hybrid System'."

"The Time System, which has the shadow of time acceleration and is in line with the 'true meaning of speed,' is called the 'Dripping Water Style.'"

"For now, that's all for these two moves. We'll develop the rest when I break through to the Realm Lord level. Right now, we should focus on comprehending the laws and not put the cart before the horse."

"Furthermore, any deeper understanding of the fundamental laws can be integrated into these two spear techniques..."

With the help of that illusory rainbow light enhancing his comprehension, the silver-clad primordial spirit completed the prototype of two spear techniques, officially stepping into the threshold of creating his own secret techniques.

Jiang Zhe was still studying the design blueprints of the [Purple Star Realm]... and the secret runes on them.

As a mechanical weapon powered by the fundamental laws of time and lightning, the law patterns and circuit diagrams engraved on it contain the mysteries of dual-system laws, deepening Jiang Zhe's understanding of the fundamental laws.

December 15, late at night.

In the original core space, Jiang Zhe, who was engrossed in studying the secret patterns of the laws, was awakened while facing that illusory rainbow light.

"Anna?"

"Master, the Jiang family wants to attack the Golden Horned Beast. What do you think we should do?"

"The Golden Horned Beast?" Jiang Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "It's already this late?"

"Hmm, the Enlightened Beast sent me a request. Your grandfather wants to transfer a slave squad commanded by a cosmic-level commander from me."

Orianna explained, "Because the Golden Horned Beast is very cunning, I was afraid of being detected by it, so I put all the Heng-level and cosmic-level slaves into the World Bracelet. The Jiang family secretly left F-level mechanical puppets to guard them."

Jiang Zhe nodded and asked, "Where is the Golden Horned Beast now? What is it doing?"

"North America, devouring war bases, has not posed a significant threat to Hanxia, ​​except for the coastal monster disturbances."

Oriana further speculated, "Judging from its movements, it will go to Europe first, and then come to Asia."

"Right now, Earth's war gods, congressmen, and political figures are all holding a meeting at the War God's Palace. Would you like me to guide you inside?"

Jiang Zhe shook his head, "No need, let's go stretch our muscles a bit and finish this quickly."
